Come and consider the impact of identity on conflict and conflict management through the eyes of a mediator.

Recognizing and appreciating the many identities at the mediation table --the parties, your co-mediator as well as your own-- can be key to a successful mediation. We all carry multiple obvious and hidden identities with us as we walk through life.

Develop your sensitivity to the characteristics of varied personalities as they exist and have impact on the mediation process.
